Direct Tests of Black Hole Accretion Rate Prescriptions: I. Bondi Accretion at Different Scales
James Agostino, Ming-Yi Lin, Natasha Jones +9
We present spatially resolved parsec-scale measurements of nuclear conditions (gas density and kinetic temperature) relevant for black hole accretion rate predictions in the Seyfer…
Investigating black hole accretion and feedback self-regulation in Seyfert galaxies using the FIRE-3 cosmological hydrodynamic simulations
Jonathan Mercedes-Feliz, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Jose Cevallos +12
Recent observations of local Seyfert galaxies show an intriguing connection between Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) luminosity and a deficit of molecular gas on ~50pc scales compared…
Little Red Dots on FIRE: Exploring the formation and observational signatures of ultra-compact early galaxies
Niranjan Chandra Roy, Daniel Anglés-Alcázar, Rachel K. Cochrane +15
Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact sources with broad Balmer lines, Balmer breaks, anomalous UV emission, rising red continuum, and uncertain origin. We use FIRE cosmological simul…
Learning the Universe with the 2nd Generation of CAMELS: Varying 35 parameters of the IllustrisTNG model in (50Mpc/h)^3 boxes
Shy Genel, Yongseok Jo, Boon Kiat Oh +10
We present a new set of 1,192 cosmological simulations as part of the CAMELS project, in which a space of 35 cosmological, astrophysical, and numerical parameters is explored aroun…
Efficiently emulating distribution functions in gigaparsec volumes for varying cosmological parameters
Christopher C. Lovell, Max E. Lee, William J. Roper +4
We present a new method for emulating the halo mass function (HMF) and other distribution functions in large effective volumes, down to low halo masses, whilst simultaneously modif…
